Eagle Flag of Epirus

　　South Peloponnese, this once-imperial land is now the fief of one of the twelve barons of the Marquis of Achaia. Since the French knights came here, nothing seems to have changed drastically.

　　 The Byzantine people quickly accepted the new ruler, even if they were really helpless, there was no way, because the empire's army was annihilated as early as a year ago. The only remaining nobles either crossed the sea to seek refuge in Nicaea, or resisted in the fortress at the southern end. But to be honest, the rule of the empire was not so memorable. Unlike the xenophobic atmosphere of Constantinople, the Byzantines of the Peloponnese were rather disgusted with the extortion of the once incompetent imperial officials.

However, the recent military mobilization made many people somewhat panic. The noble army was called up and rushed to the north. At the moment, there are only a few regular and militia troops in the southern Peloponnese. They are not worried about accidents because the outside circle is full of Venetians. It is impossible for the pirate attack to reach here at sea stronghold, so the guards have become very lax.

By the sea in the early morning, the city of Mycenae, which has long been abandoned, is now being rebuilt as a fortress for the Latins on the sea. There are almost one or two hundred guards in the city. Most of the troops have been assigned to Corinth. So defense can almost be ignored. However, the responsibility for daily patrolling of the sea surface is still to be done, so early in the morning, the trapped soldiers lazily walked to the fortress to check the situation. But he was too lazy to take a look, because merchant ships are very rare in this area.

　　 However, the soldier who wanted to end the mission immediately went to rest, but saw an unexpected scene. A fleet appeared in front of him at this moment, and the flag raised by the ship turned out to be the red two-headed eagle battle flag of the Byzantine Empire.

　　 "How is this possible... God!" The Latin soldier almost groaned. This scene was so similar to the shock of the Byzantines that the Crusaders arrived in Constantinople two years ago. The rolling soldiers hurriedly ran down and shouted to alert the city. The fast bells rang throughout the fortress. The nervous Latins quickly picked up their weapons and rushed to the sea wall to wait for them.

　　 At this moment, Justinian had been waiting for a long time. They had actually arrived at night, but they did not immediately launch an attack. One was because of the difficulty of organizing a night attack, and the other was because the army needed rest. Now the army that has been repaired for the night is refreshed, and the huge Genoese transport ship is ready to attack.

"Now is the war between you and the Achaia Marquis. We have no reason to join the war. Of course, these Italian mercenaries as long as you can afford it." The Genoese captain looked at Justinian Road. This was him. The last thing I can do is, after all, once it is given to the population of Venice, it is not good, which is why the flag of Byzantium is now hoisted on his ship.

　　 And of course Justinian understood this and nodded.

　　 "Of course I know this and I am glad that you can help me." Justinian understood that the Genoese did this entirely because of the gold coins Andrea gave him in their hands, and not because of other reasons. Being able to ask them to transport their troops here is already a great help, and Justinian naturally wouldn't ask for anything else.

　　 saw him drew out his sword, looked at the men behind him and said: "Now is the time for us to avenge the Latins!"

　　 At the same time, the Mycenaean garrison clearly saw that the attack was not a pirate attack, but the main enemy attack, and the Romans had come for revenge.

　　 But at this time, the main force of the Latins is in the north, and the guard force in the Mycenae fortress is extremely weak.

Justinian’s guess is very accurate. The Latins have indeed been unable to sit still. Over the past year or so, the Latins have been retreating so that the nobles of Achaia have completely shifted their sights to the north and forgot the south, so The Latin garrison of Mycenae consisted of only a few militia units. They were demoralized just by seeing the Byzantine army, and they were unable to defend the city of Mycenae.

　　 But in the face of everything at this moment, the desperate Latins still sent out archers in an attempt to prevent the Byzantines from landing.

　　 But this was basically a pebble hitting the stone, Justinian’s sword pointed at the city’s head, and the Chincha man behind him also pointed his bow and arrow at the Latin defenders on the city.

　　 "Let it go!"

　　 "Shoo 咻咻——" The arrow rained offensively suppressed the Latin defenders, and at this moment Nevsky led his Varangian guards upstairs to the ladder on the ship.

　　Neusky and a group of heavily armored comrades rushed up to open the situation for the army with a large arrow shield, and no one could stop them in front of these outstanding and mighty warriors. When they defended Constantinople, they made a great contribution to defeat the Crusaders who climbed the Shanghai Wall. If it weren’t for the Frankish knights to kill the Theodosian Wall, they would have almost defended Constantine. Fort. Holding a big axe in hand, the Varangians quickly killed a **** road~www.ltnovel.com~ The Latin archers also fled in a hurry, and these militia forces were simply vulnerable.

　　 On the other side, the warship in Genoa carried its own siege equipment, and the suspension bridge and the ladder were placed on the walls of Mycenae.

In an instant, the Byzantine army rushed to the fortress’s coastal defense wall. This was completely unexpected by the defenders. They did not expect that this would happen. The Byzantine army’s offensive was like a thunderbolt before they had time to react. Enemy forces were everywhere, which made the Latins completely lose the will to resist.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! To the top of the city wall. And Justinian also held the banner of Byzantium among them. The battle was overwhelming, and the battle was ended almost in a moment.

Before noon, the resistance of the Latin garrison in Mycenae was completely shattered. No one got away, some were killed, and all others were thrown into the sea in despair, while in the turbulent waves. They are bound to die, this is what Justinian needs, so that they take the attack from inside, the Latins on the opposite side will still have no surprise.

Welcomed by the residents of the city, the Byzantine army entered the city of Mycenae. Although there were not many ordinary residents, there were still many people greeted Justinian and their arrival when they saw the flag of the Empire. Denny also immediately issued an order, "Set up camp and rest immediately, and check whether there are any remaining Latins in the city, count the spoils captured, and ask Arslan to restrain his men from taking the people here." The first entry into the city. Justinian was prepared to restrain the army from any inappropriate actions.
